Quite astounding that people in these conditions still drive around without their headlights on…
Can't fix stupid
I was thinking the same thing.
That's why I get the always on ones lol
Exactly Light up to be seen. They may need a sign that says. Turn your lights on it saves lives.

I once read a historical fiction series set in North Dakota, where they said they had to tie a rope between the house and the barn to be able to find their way out and back. I didn't really understand that until now. Holy cow.
Minnesota farm girl here... we use to do the same thing! 😆
Not fiction...not just N.D either
Yup Did it back in the 70s
That is a true story The blizzard of 1966 was the worst that I remember as there was no Stockman's warning. My dad and brothers couldn't see their hand on front of their face. The livestock needed to be fed and cared for. It takes a strong, resilient, and tenacious person to be a farmer.
@@dianedizayee5211 Amen Diane Amen!
Yep, they said North Dakota would get hammered. We just got a dusting...south central Minnesota, but wind and wind-chill next couple days... be careful out there! Really appreciate what you guys do... a big, thank you! 👍
They don't actually do anything but drive around with a camera. Just more people out driving in treacherous conditions.
This is the reason you don't want to go to North Dakota in the Winter looks like this every other day!
Just another normal day in winter in the north nothing new...
Lived there for 40 years and there isn't any reason to be out in a blizzard, none! We got fair warning when it was to hit and you just stayed home! The only companies/businesses I seen working were drilling rigs and ranchers... They haven't a choice, others do ..
Glad I missed this. Boss wanted me to drive from jamestown to Fargo in a empty cube truck. I laughed and told them to check the weather :D
So many vehicles with no headlights or tail lights!
Steve Buscemi knows where that briefcase is;)
🙏 for Fargo.
Flew back in from AZ the other day into this mess. Basically had to swim to get to my front door, near 6-foot snow drifts up in North Fargo.
Yep. I was in Fargo ND a couple weeks ago and I can vouch for this. Mainly it's the visibility issue. I-29 is straight and flat so it's a slow n steady type scenario. No hills or anything.
ND is so flat you can watch your dog run away for three days.....
This is normal weather here, there will be more to come and worse than this. Nice reporting. Head North to Grand Forks and experience some hectic winter weather around highway #2.
Six months of white cold crap...
"Oh geez!"
This looks like Grand Rapids, mi, yesterday except the snow was not blowing across the road. It was piled up on the roads and freeways with almost whiteout conditions in areas. Plows were not out and neither were the salt trucks. We had to fend for ourselves. I don’t know if they did anything overnight but the city is shut down today. I had a dental appt I really needed so I got out into it, thinking most people wouldn’t be on the roads. I was right. But even though most people know how to drive in the snow here, the roads were so bad. In front of me, a Ford Expedition…large, heavy SUV with 4WD…swerved left 90°, then right 180°, then left 180° and kept doing that for a while and all I could figure is that he had cruise control on which you must never do in these conditions. He didn’t touch the brakes either which would’ve stopped the cruise control and initiated the ABS. His back end finally hit the concrete wall and that stopped it. We had all stopped waiting to make sure he didn’t slide into us, then we gave him a room to pull off all the way to the right 4 lanes. I have a lightweight Subaru forester with all wheel drive and snow tires but it still shook me up a little bit that a large, heavy four-wheel-drive vehicle had no traction at all. Right after I left the freeway there were three pile up accidents that I just missed. But today we are supposed to get the really frigid temperatures and that’s so miserable if you are in an accident and have to wait in the cold for so long. Bring warm clothing, food and water if you venture out today.
Blizzard conditions with ultra low visibility yet some people are driving with their lights off?!
That's just nasty....
Some people simply don't have the horse sense to *NOT GO OUT* when it's storming like this! At least wait until it blows over and clears up!!
First time to North dakota welcome to the thunder dome baby
Who wouldn’t want to live in North Dakota in January?😎🥶🌴
Me, I wouldn't want to live there ever.
@@LelaE34 👍😀

@@Icyplace1 Any good bbq places here besides no bull? I'm new to the area 😉
Oh wow! So scary! Please people stay safe!
I love Fargo
Looks better than the Glenn Highway in Alaska the last few days.
It's like Greenland!
accidentally had it on 1.25 speed - thankfully life wasn't quite as fast.
U guys are brave driving in that I became to chicken to drive my rig in it
Just another winters day in ND ..
I used to live in Fargo but I move out 2 years ago
I was living in Fargo 11 years just we moved to Madison Wisconsin 10/2021
Oh yah !
I don't miss that crap
Let it snow .... it's time for a cold budwiser. Or coke cola. 🤣😂😛👽👽
I don't think there will be flights from there lmfao
Electric cars don't do well in the cold.
get old in the snow
I will take the Vegas weather any day over this
Thumbs down for the giant SCV in the middle of the screen. ( Doesn't matter why it's there ).
We should respect the Fargo people...by the way, I live in Fargo 😀
Turn your lights on in a blizzard.
Так говорит Господь в Библии: "Кто поклоняется зверю и образу его и принимает начертание (печать зверя - папства), тот будет пить вино ярости Божьей, вино цельное, приготовленное в чаше гнева Его и будет мучим в огне и сере перед святыми ангелами и пред Агнцем (И.Хр.)...". Отк.14:6-9. "зверь из моря", Отк.13:1, это папство, изменившее Закон Божий. "образ (подобие) зверя (папства)" - это соединение церкви (любой религии) с государством, что запрещено Богом под страхом Его судов. "Поклонение зверю" - это одобрение этого соединения. "начертание" (печать) зверя - это празднование 1-го дня недели, воскресного, установленного папством, вместо 7-го дня, субботы Господней по 4-й заповеди . "Вино (учение) ярости Божьей" - это учение о ярости Божьей за беззаконие. "вино цельное" - учение о ярости Бога БЕЗ милости, как было ранее. "приготовленное в чаше гнева Его" - это описание судов Божьих в чаше (сосуде) Его Слова Отк.16 гл. Вот что ожидает всех, кто одобрит мировую принудительную религию, запрещенную Богом, и будет праздновать воскресный день и нарушать Закон Божий (Исх.20:1-17). Можно сказать, что все правители земли приняли Франциска, заключив с ним союз. С почтением.
But as trump would say there is nothing wrong with the environment lmfao
Tf does trump have to do with it. This is literally just another day in fargo. We have so much snow that if its windy at all this is exactly what its like
Covering the face with eyes is an obligation and not a Sunnah, and the evidence is that Aisha covered her face for Hajj when men taught her by the order of the Messenger. So does he remove the obligation, which is revealing the face in Hajj with a Sunnah, which we will not be punished for? The imposition is still imposed by another, and this is in all religions, and it does not prevent communication, because communication with a mind is not a face, as we communicate in an exam, so Ibn Hanbal is the correct.
Shut up
I'm gravely concerned about Earth's unprecedented weather and natural disaters. Why aren't we hearing results of scientific investigations, or do more Fauci's exist?? Global warming has escalated beyond previous expert expectations? I haven't heard results of any recent studies.
Are you actively looking for results or just expecting them to appear?
Been like this and worse my whole 43 years on earth here in ND! No Global Warming here……..-28 F tonight and -60 to -75 F wind chill! You call that WARMING! Stupid Democrats
@Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. ♪ solar output has not changed much over the last 5 thousand years.. not enough to account for the abnormal rise in temperature over the last 150 years..
Why don't you hear about them? Probably because you have to know where to look, scientific journals dont get very many eyeballs on screens so the media doesn't report it.
@@jeremybaumgartner867 there is global warming, the Earth is basically becoming a green house and that results in climate change, dangerous weather, etc.. The 20 tornadoes that hit southern MN on 12/15/21 that is a direct result of climate change. The hurricanes that get worse every year, that is a direct result of climate change. A lot of people confuse global warming as the areas we live in getting warmer but it’s more about the atmosphere and green house gases polluting our air which is killing our ozone layer. While we most likely will not see the actual warming effect in our lifetimes we will witness drastically changing weather conditions.
